  So it’s funny that it’s even stricter “moderation” AND NOW ITS HARDCODED so it affects every instance.

  Lol, people so afraid of Lemmy devs bowing to the CCP that they migrate to the fediverse option that actually implements CCP societal control features. McCarthysim really did a number on the Amerikkkan brain, dunno if it is impacting people from elsewhere that much. This surely was not in my 2026 Bingo card!

  ITS HARDCODED so it affects every instance.

  It’s open source. Every instance can change it and if something is common, people can maintain the patch together.

  Lenmy devs who are unpalatably heavy handed in their “moderation” on the ml instance.

  Which is their instance. I don’t like the hate they receive. They have established a social network that allows everybody to run their own instance with their own moderation. To present them as the villains must be nurtured by the establishment.

  So it’s funny that it’s even stricter

  Absolutely

    That isn’t how it works. They would have to FORK the code and maintain their changes going forward with every update. That is poor software development practices no matter how you look at it.

      I think the Brave browser does it with Chrome. Wouldn’t the source control tool do most of the maintenance?

        Chromium is a well-organized and mature codebase, which makes syncing changes relatively easy (also Brave’s chageset is limited in scope). PieFed is neither mature nor well-organized. Maintaining a downstream project from it would be a nightmare.
